Thereâ??s finally a Nest Cam for outdoors

Nest Labs is ready to tackle exterior home security. When Nest acquired Dropcam in 2014, the device was originally considered a monitoring camera, said Nest Product Manager Mehul Nariyawala. However, Nest executives soon realized that most Dropcam people were using it for security. "Now we think of it as a security camera,” he said. A year later, Nest launched the Nest Cam, a slightly upgraded, but mostly rebranded version of the Dropcam.
